Baby boy,
Lucas was playing Prodigy today at school and said that something sad happened when he was playing it. He said that he saw another player and the player’s name was Isaiah. I asked your siblings if they remembered what your character looked like, but nobody seemed to remember. I thought he had something along the lines of lightening bolts on a headband and a robe? I could probably log on to your account on the computer, but I don’t know if I want to do that. Maybe I will do it tomorrow when everyone is at school and I can just quietly look around at it.
There’s little things that your siblings took from the various places that we lived that I enjoy hearing. I had my flip flops out today and both Elijah and Lucas called them “slippers”. Ellie broke out the “y’all” before and yesterday while I was subbing the first graders swore I was saying things incorrectly, but it was just the way I said them. Apparently we were in Missouri so long that I picked up on some of the Midwest way of saying various words and letters.
Our new thing is to all sit around the dining room table when we get home from school. Ellie and Lucas do their homework, while Elijah and I do randomness. I actually really enjoy this time of the day. Today we were discussing Ellie’s school performance where they’re going to sing My Heart Will Go On from the movie Titanic. Maybe it’s because he’s obsessed with the Titanic, but Lucas joined in on my weirdness today and annoyed Ellie with me. We were sitting at the table and discussing all the different things they should do during the performance like drop water at the end, have kids dress up as icebergs and walk around, maybe toss pieces of crumbled white tissue paper at them like pieces of ice. Lucas and I came up with amazing ideas for about ten whole minutes. Ellie was attempting to hide her smiles the entire time, but failed at it. She wanted to pretend she was cooler than us, but she’s not. Eventually she put on her headphones and music so she wouldn’t have to listen to us anymore.
It’s time for bed, my baby. It’s almost 9pm, which means it’s definitely my bedtime. I love you more than anything, sweetie. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
